I Don't Like The Idea Of Competition

I'm Just Thinking Of 2001, Which I Think Is The Most Expensive Independent Film Ever Made - Which Is Great, Someday I Hope I Will Do One. But I Know The Parameters When I Got Onto This Project - I Have To Take Care Of Everyone, Make Sure That They Are All On Board, And This Process Interests Me.

I Want To Explore New Ideas And Put Myself In A Place Where I Can Finish A Project That Is More Unusual Or That Doesn't Seem Doable.

I Always Wanted To Create This Community That Would Come And Tell Their Own Story, Shoot It - And Watch Them. The Idea Is To Not Have One Entity Who Creates The Work, The Project, And Another Entity Who Consumes It; The Idea Is People Create Their Own Work, Like Somebody Cultivating His Garden.

The First Dolly Track Was Somebody Who Had The Idea To Put The Camera On A Boat On A Canal. So The Boat Would Move Very Slowly But Steadily. So They Would See All That Surrounds You And You'd See The Landscape Changing Slowly. So That Was The First Time.

I Like To Use A Bit Of Chaos When I Shoot. I Think It May Be Something From The Way I Shot My First Film - I Was Very Scared, Of Course, And I Prepared Everything, I Wanted To Make Sure That The Characters Did The Right Thing At The Right Time On The Storyboard. But Then I Realised That In Life, There Is So Much More Than What You Can Predict Or Write In Advance, That When You Shoot The Story, It's Good To Leave Some Gaps Where You Lose Control. I Think This Combination Of Chaos And Organisation Gives A Kind Of Quality.
